Found a very nice, small, cross-platform GUI toolkit for Python.

[Python Nutter]

Had a look and it is still under my radar unfortunately because of
TkInter. OceanGUI has a lot of large decencies (Pygame, SDL libraries,
PyObjC, etc.) to install on my system to just to get a GUI thats no
better loking than TkInter which comes pre-installed (no dependencies)
on most every major platform.

If I was writing a game I might be interested, but I'd want to do some
serious skinning of that GUI to make it look better.

For applications installing the full wxWidgets or Qt toolkits would be
less disk space and dependcies than OceanGUI and performance would
probably be higher. TkInter also has many skins/themes you can add
that makes it rather, although not 100% native looking on target
systems.

For example, check out

For 86K download/dependencies I can get a rather Mac looking GUI.

Cheers,
PN
